AS SOME OF YOU KNOW AND SOME DON'T I HAVENT' BEEN FEELING WELL. I WENT YESTERDAY TO THE DOCTOR BECAUSE OF SOME HORRID DISCHARGE AND PAIN. JOSEPH SEEMED FINE. BY THE TIME I CAME HOME MY PAIN WAS WORSE AND WE ENDED UP IN THE HOSPITAL. MY LABOR HAD STARTED AND IT WAS TOO FAR GONE FOR THEM TO DO ANYTHING. THE HIGH RISK HOSPITAL WOULD TAKE HIM UNLESS HE WAS 24WKS. HE WAS 23WKS. MY HOSPITAL SEN...
Well, I knew it was coming. I could feel it. Yes, AF is starting, despite my being on progesterone. I didn't even make it to beta. What a huge let down. I am glad we did invest in Shared Risk and will talk to the doctor Wed. about where to go from here. I guess I should call tomorrow, assuming I will be full flow by then. I know I will build back up t...
I have wanted a baby since I was a small child. What little girl doesn't play with her baby dolls and dream of someday being a Mommy for real? When that STUPID doctor told me, in 1999 (considering I had been ttc and had fertility drugs since 1988), that I had a 0% chance of ever getting PG, my heart was broken. When I miscarried in Sept '06 at 14 weeks, I had no clue I was even PG. Well, no...
Today was the worst day of my life. DH and I woke early to get everything ready for our first OB appointment. We brought the camcorder to get everything from the u/s (best thing we ever did for u/s #1) and a blank DVD for that off chance that they would be able to burn the pics for us. I was so sick as usual gagging all the way to the dr. I had this huge smile as the receptionist asked me to take...
I AM SITTING IN A TRAUMA ICU UNIT FOR THE LAST 8 DAYS. I SIT HERE AND OBSERVE HOW THE STAFF IS DOING EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO KEEP MY HUSBAND ALIVE. ONE DAY AFTER MY RE CALLED TO TELL ME THAT MY 4TH IVF FAILED, AN EMPLOYEE THAT WORKS FOR MY HUSBAND CALLED ME AT 8AM TO TELL ME THAT A 2 TON CONCRETE BLOCK FELL ON MY HUSBAND. HE SAID THAT HE IS IN A HELICOPTER ON HIS WAY TO A TRAUMA CENTER AN...
I am PISSED. I have been really sick the past few weeks. The past week I have been having morning sickness 24-7, up most nights all night. I have only gotten about 2 hours of sleep on average. I have missed some work due to morning sickness (or have needed to leave during the day because of spending 45 minuted huddled over my trash can) and because of the IVF. Yes, I am sick,...
Last night I had my great-big-ugly-therapeutic cry. I just let it ALL out. I mean all of it. My poor husband had no idea what to do, so he just ended up holding me until the early hours of the morning. Then when I woke up AF had completely stopped! Not a drop, anywhere. I still felt really crampy and like she was just sitting there waiting, but I didn't call ...
I went to the RE today. He has gotten all the results of my labwork. He says he's willing to work with me on the IUI. But I have to be able to afford the drugs. I don't have an extra $600.00 just waiting to buy the meds with. Soooo, If anybody that reads this is able to donate any drugs/ money. My DH and I would be forever grateful. Otherwise we'll have to pass up on getting PG...
I've just about had it with my mother. she just crossed the damn line yesterday. my sister who is 12 years old was at a party yesterday and was running around the house she was at and stoped breathing for no reason. they called an ambulance and they checked her out but she was okay. my mother never called or left a message or nothing. I am so ticked off at her right now. I'm glad my ...
